    Summary

    Stede has always been Ed’s.
    Well, technically, there was the brief pointless time before he’d met her. But as much as Stede cared to remember, as much as he found worth considering, as long as Stede had been anyone, he’d been Ed’s.
    Certainly not romantically.
    With her the crown princess, and he a simple knight, certainly not.
    But still.
    He was hers.

    Summary

    Ed crossed his arms over his chest and shrugged, casual. “It’s just bodies, Stede. They’re weird. They do stuff sometimes.”

    Stede peered up at him cautiously. “Yeah?”

    “What, you think you’re the first person who’s ever gotten a boner during a physical?” Ed scoffed. “Hate to break it to you, but you’re not special.”

    Granted, no one Ed had treated had ever had an orgasm while Ed’s finger was still inside them but that was neither here nor there.

    **

    Stede comes in for his annual prostate exam. Things do not go as planned.

    Based on that tweet that's like "if y'all having a bad day just letting y'all know my co-worker got his prostate exam and when the doc touched his prostate he nutted immediately and fell down knocking over some equipment"

    Summary

    At first, it’s just an irritation. A jiggling foot from too much caffeine, or an unfortunate tic he doesn’t quite have under control. But it just gets worse, and worse, until he’s practically vibrating, every movement sending their little table rocking precariously on the wonky floor. Izzy’s pretentious craft ale sloshes in his glass — seven quid a bloody pint, they’re charging for this swill, and Izzy’s sure as hell not going to let Bonnet upend it ‘cause he can’t sit still.

    Because Izzy is… well. An expert, of sorts. And in his considerable expertise, he reckons Bonnet is maybe twenty fucking minutes from pissing himself, in front of everyone he fucking knows and plenty of people he doesn’t.

    *

    Or: Izzy has no idea how he ends up coaching Stede through a piss kink awakening. He really has no idea how he ends up awakening a thing or two of his own to boot.

    Summary

    Maybe this is all real, including the clean-shaven, well-adjusted version of himself sitting on the bed. In which case: why? And also, like, how?

    Could be it’s the universe taking the piss. Showing him the timeline he could’ve been living in, if Stede cared enough to come back and find him. He could’ve been this other Ed, who apparently got Stede back and has learned to talk plainly about all the shit he’s feeling.

    Could be it’s some, like, glimpse of the future? Like a warning? Like hey, Ed, you should think twice about offing yourself, because Stede’s actually about to show up any second, and you maybe kinda want to be alive for that?

    Ha. Yeah, right.

    Summary

    He and Stede rarely got through the day without spending some sort of time together. Ed thought he might be a bit in love with him, even though he was going slightly insane listening to him masturbate at night.

    Ah, right. The shared wall thing.

    Turns out they were quite thin.

    ***

    Ed and Stede live in neighboring flats, and over the years Ed has fallen for Stede hard. The problem is, Ed's guilty pleasure is listening to Stede get himself off at night with a vibrating sex toy.

    Hilarity and chaos ensues when Ed buys the same model of butt plug for himself, and finds out the hard way that their shared wall is so thin that the remote for Stede's plug can control his too.
